[AusNOG] Fibre across the road from NextDC B1

[James Cunningham]

Hello Ausnog,



We have a client who is across the road and three doors up from NextDC B1
in Brisbane (where we already have some racks), and instead of offering
them an 40Mbps Ethernet over Copper link (which we can do via AAPT
Wholesale) I was thinking it may be more cost effective to run 50 meters of
fibre from B1 directly to their office. Might need to be more the ducts go
up the street/etc.



Normally we would do this via Pipe/AAPT/Vocus etc, but given it’s so close,
what would be involved in getting our own contractors to run the fibre and
renting duct space for a 6 core fibre cable?



Or is this really a “too hard basket” and we should just go to Pipe or
Vocus and have them do it?



On-list or off-list responses appreciated here.



Thank you in advance


James
